MANAGEMENT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
Nowadays
students must be prepared and place the most important concentration on
business and technology. Since information is the lifeblood of all
organizations, now an understanding and expertize on business and technology.
However, not only on business field the technologies
are needed, but also in all field of subject. Technologies has become a part of our life so that everybody from any
background of study must at least become a computer
literate.
This situation lead us to change our educational
system into online-based education. The student must at least capable to use
the technology which they have, such as computer, gadget or smartboard.
The importance of technology can’t be denied anymore.
The advantages of using technology in our educational system according to Z. Dovedan, S. Seljan, K. Vučković can be
listed as below :
·
24 hour access to materials;
·
all data can be easily changed,
edited or added;
·
data can be exchanged and
compared among different users;
·
learning is with more enthusiasm
that leads to faster memorizing of new materials;
·
communication can be led outside
the space and time that involves school as a central
·
learning place;
·
exercises and drills are adjusted
to different levels of knowledge;
·
developing of new technology
usage skills;
·
developing skills for individual
research and team work;
·
acquisition of social awareness;
There are also the disadvantages
of using technology in educational system, they are :
lack of a person in charge of the
information we find on the Internet;
·
easy access to unsuitable
content;
·
surfing the web during and after
the class time for the materials not connected with the
·
learning process;
·
virus threat.
The question now is not “Do we really need a
technology to become our media in teaching and learning activity?” but “Are we
as educators and learner ready for the new era of educational system?” and “Are
we ready to prepare our generation to the next era?”
It’s such an easy answered question, we can just
easily say ‘yes’ or ‘we’re ready’ but, the answer of the questions isn’t as
easy as the real realization. We should give an extra effort on that.
Hypertext and Hypermedia
Hypertext is is
inherently nonlinear: it is comprised of many interlinked chunks of self-contained text. It allows for multiple authors, a blurring of the author and reader
functions, extended works with diffuse boundaries, and multiple reading paths.
hypertext is inherently nonlinear: it is
comprised of many interlinked chunks of self-contained
text. Readers are not bound to a particular sequence, but can browse
through information intuitively by association, following their interests by
following a highlighted keyword or phrase in one piece of text to bring up
another, associated piece of text
Hypermedia is the generalization of hypertext to include other
kinds of media: images, audio clips and video clips are typically supported in
addition to text. Node-link hypermedia
model. The entire set of nodes and links forms a graph network. A
distinct set of nodes and links which constitutes a logical entity or work is
called a hyperdocument; a
distinct subset of hyperlinks is often called a hyperweb.
A source anchor is the starting point of a hyperlink and specifies
the part of a document from which an outgoing link can be activated. Typically,
the user is given visual cues as to where source anchors are located in a
document (for example, a highlighted phrase in a text document). A destination anchor is the endpoint of
a hyperlink and determines what part of a document should be on view upon
arrival at that node (for example, a text might be scrolled to a specific
paragraph). Often, an entire document is specified as the destination and
viewing commences at some default location within the document (for example,
the start of a text).
